Camping Season Has Officially Begun!



No, it’s not yet Friday of Memorial Day weekend 2009, but I’m sitting here under our RV canopy watching RV after RV pull in and setup for the holiday weekend. There are big ones, little ones, new ones, old ones, pop-ups, 5th wheels, coaches, Moms & Dads with all their kids, grandparents without theirs, you name it…they’re coming in.

Even more interesting is that there are some here because of their jobs, and they’re packing up and leaving for the weekend. Not us. We’re sticking around for part of the weekend, and when we do go for a quick overnight trip we aren’t taking our 5th wheel.

I’ve enjoyed observing the comings and goings. It’s interesting to see where people are coming from…or at least where they’re based anyway according to their vehicle and RV tags. Sometimes it seems strange though to see an RV come in one day and be gone the next. Those are the folks in route to another destination who just need to stop in for an overnight rest.

Before I get back to RV watching I’ve GOT to share this video with you. Trust me…you’ll see RVers do it cooler.
